A construction project to extend the Metro A Line to a new Claremont station will begin in 2027, made possible by a $798 million grant from the Los Angeles Metro to Foothill Gold Line Construction Authority in late 2024. Once completed in 2031, Metro riders will be able to travel from Claremont to Long Beach without getting off the train.
Some students expressed support for the project, emphasizing the importance of being able to explore the greater LA area beyond Claremont.
